Yesterday, September 12, Apple released the new designs for the iPhone 5. The photos on the website are rather sleek. It's supposed to be smaller (thinner really) than its brothers, but who can really tell from the photographs and drawn out dimensions? Not me. What I can tell is that the glossy glass has taken on more of a matte look and the universal USB that connects to so many of our Apple products is being replaced. Instead of using a USB, iPhones are now going to use Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt was introduced with the MacBook Pros starting in 2011. It is supposed to be the fastest connection available. While the world is getting used to having to use a Thunderbolt connection for their iPhones you can buy a converter that will allow you connect accessories you already have that require the special iPhone/iPad 30-pin plug-in (I think that's the correct terminology but I could be wrong.) There are tons of other little major upgrades that Apple has made to the iPhone. Shoot panoramas (with an even better camera), LTE data network capability, a bigger and better retina display, a map system that is more like a real GPS (it can talk and detail your turns), a more intelligent Siri, and of course new headphones (that re-imagine the way you listen to music). Plus you can get the iPhone in black or white the first day it comes out! No more waiting another year for them to come out with a new color. If you're ready for this new phone, you'll have to wait until September 21 (but that's not too far away).
Today is Mary Kay's 50th anniversary, that's a huge milestone. In order to celebrate right, Sondra (my boss) had me make up flyers for a sale of which I'm pretty proud. I love being able to use my talents at both of my jobs. Plus once I finish a task like this one, I'm satisfied that I did a good job. (I think I'm pretty much a closet perfectionist.)
